With Zamalek manager Jesualdo Ferreira’s reluctance to sign the player, as he is clearly not match fit, a move to Zamalek followed by a year-long loan to Ismailia could be an option for Shika.

It remains to be seen if the player will complete the move due to Sporting’s demands, but KingFut sources confirm the player is very much open to the idea of reuniting with Mido, if it means he could eventually return to the White Castle.
